  • Bring Jim back

    Was a great podcast when Jim was the host. This was my favorite podcast and I looked forward to it each week. Now it’s just another average CRE podcast.

  • “Right?”

    If the guests on the hosts didn’t say “right?” at the end of every sentence, the shows would be about 5 min long

    I have enjoyed the new podcast, and have learned a lot about syndications. I consider myself more of a center fielder - i have both my 401(k) and stock investments, and i have 22 doors as well as 2 syndication investments.

    I was shocked to hear this latest podcast. I strongly wonder how Chris Miles can call himself a "financial advisor" without knowing these facts, as these are very basic for even non-CFP advisors.

    Blatantly false items -

    - they mis-represent the 4% rule completely. First, t... more

  • 4% Rule Episode was less than stellar

    I thought the 4% rule episode had nice points and I understood what they were saying, but I think they were a bit biased and went a little too far in their analysis…. I know plenty of people who exclusively utilize mutual funds or stocks to become financially free. It’s a proven strategy. Just because the study is old doesn’t mean there isn’t truth in it or the math still doesn’t work.

    This show is so needed and could be so great. But I listened to my first episode and it’s a non-economist spouting off theories.

    If you are going to talk about the economy, please have an expert on, not a biased individual who focuses on real estate for a living. And please focus on syndications - this is the kind of thing you can get on the other BP network, it’s redundant and goes against what should be a very niche area.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Get Better Deal Terms with SPVs | AAA Storage
Q: Do open-tribe investors have to be accredited for this deal?
Yes. Since AAA's deal is a 506D for accredited investors only, the open tribe must also consist of accredited LPs; non-accredited participation is not permitted for this specific deal.
Hotel-to-Multifamily Conversions 101 with Alex Cartwright
Q: What are the typical hold periods and expected returns for LPs in these deals?
Typically a five-to-seven-year hold with LP IRRs in the low- to mid-20s, cash-on-cash in the low teens, and annualized refinances that return most or all of the initial equity while maintaining a stabilized, market-rate multifamily asset.
Hotel-to-Multifamily Conversions 101 with Alex Cartwright
Q: Is the high-level plan here buy, convert, stabilize, then refinance with agency or HUD debt?
Yes, the strategy is to acquire, rezone and convert to multifamily, stabilize, and refinance with options such as HUD or local banks, sometimes avoiding traditional Fannie/Freddie debt due to unit-size and kitchen requirements.
Michael Episcope’s Investing Playbook: Cycles, Credit, and Multifamily
Q: How do you think about buying at the right time in the cycle?
I'm not a crystal ball guy; you need dry powder, disciplined underwriting, and the ability to act when opportunities arise, rather than chasing every deal. It's about building cushions and choosing markets where fundamentals will sustain you through cycles, using a balanced mix of assets to weather downturns and capture upside when conditions improve.
LP Deal Review: Origin Investments Select Asset Fund | Michael Episcope
Q: How is the co-invest portion structured relative to the fund investment?
The minimum fund investment is $500,000, with the option to co-invest another $500,000 on a one-to-one basis; full co-invest requires a $1 million commitment to the fund. Larger groups can pool via an investment club for a combined minimum.
